spear and shield

Hi, I have, a few weeks ago, decided to start a playtrough as a Sturgian spear and shield footman. While it was pretty rough when I started, it's currently going quite well now that my athletics and polearm skills are quite high (more than 275 for both). However I noticed many issues with the...

Is there any mod that fixes spears/pikes for v1.7.0 Bannerlord? Especially that annoying from behind collision with friendly troops/their shields >:(

Hello everyone! I want to start by saying that I love Bannerlord and Mount and Blade franchise as a whole. I played all variations of the game over the years. Only one single thing in this game makes me unhappy: underutilization of most important weapon on a battlefield – the spear...

So I saw in a recent video made by 'Resonant' about the first mount and blade game and saw that the character automatically places his shield in front while thrusting. So if both player and AI are able to use spear thrusting animations while blocking with shield in front, wouldn't it make spears...

Hello there, do you have the time to talk about the spears? Well, it does feel a bit better than in Warband. I'll give you that. But it's still unusable if your opponent knows how to block on a less-than-average level. Let's discuss this. So this is what happened: I tried out using the spear...

Since I made my initial post on the wrong forum, here a thread for the balancing on single player. https://forums.taleworlds.com/index.php?threads/spears-should-deal-more-damage.414209/ I've experimented quite a bit with spears since I made my original post, and they are even worse than I...

Why are spears being held incorrectly by every model? They're always held in the center of the shaft in-game. Why can't we be allowed to use the full length of spears? I'd also like it if spears couldn't do much of any damage with the haft and that the spear-head always had a hitbox. Having A.I...

One-handed polearms need a little love in this game. With the empire factions so prominent, I'd love to see phalanx-style combat as a viable option, but it isn't right now. In some of the eastern cities, it's common for tournaments to assign you a shield and one-handed spear in a tournament. If...

This is a common reason for the shield/spear combination in history. While holding up a shield to defend yourself, you can thrust the spear forward. This should be implemented in the game. When blocking to the left, you can thrust on the right. When blocking low, you can thrust high. Let the...
